Transfusion:Nervous Norvus.
(Real name, Jimmy Drake)
#8 on BB Hot 100 on DOT Records in 1956.
(It was banned on many radio stations..why,
I don't know. But it was taken seriously
in some quarters.)
(***Someone requested this and I kept putting it off..
mainly because it's really stupid. Please bear in mind..
I didn't write it and the chords are those originally used
in the song. It hit #8 and made a lot of money. Go figure.***)
